ABSTRACTEEG signals are often contaminated with artefacts, particularly with mains power from electrical equipment. Low-pass filtering and notch filtering can lose valuable data. Here we describe a novel mains power noise removal method based on the fact that mains power noise is a sine wave component with an essentially fixed frequency and the same phase across all channels. This removes the blink component, leaving uncontaminated EEG largely unchanged. Blink removal had a success rate of >99.9% recovered variance of the original EEG when removing synthesised mains power components. We compared this method with two other popular mains power noise removal methods. Our method was better than Cleanline which is an ICA based method and multiple PLI which is an adaptive notch filter based method. With the higher recovery, our method shows clear advantages over Cleanline and multiple PLI for removing mains power noise. From the aspect of data loss, it is obviously better than low-pass filter and normal notch filter.

A novel method for middle frequency resonance detection and reduction is proposed for speed control in industrial servo systems. Defects of traditional resonance reduction method based on adaptive notch filter in middle frequency range are analyzed. And the main reason is summarized as the difference between the resonance frequency and the oscillation frequency. A self-tuning low-pass filter is introduced in the speed feedback path, whose corner frequency is determined by FFT results and several self-tuning rules. With the proposed method the effective range of the adaptive filter is extended across the middle frequency range. Simulation and Experiment results show that the frequency detection is accurate and resonances during the speed steady states and dynamics are successfully reduced.

On the basis of the W-band power source, a single-stage frequency quadrupler method was used to implement two 335 GHz frequency quadruplers. The two frequency quadruplers adopted a traditional binomial matching structure and an improved gradient line matching structure, respectively. An idle loop was added to the overall circuit in the design of the DC filter and low-pass filter. The improved gradient line matching structure reduced the circuit length while increasing the bandwidth, effectively reducing the power loss on the transmission line. A micro-strip circuit was fabricated with a 50 μm thick quartz circuit and was mounted onto a split waveguide block. The results showed that the output power of the quadrupler with the improved matching structure was better than that of the quadrupler with the conventional matching structure. The peak output power of the improved frequency quadrupler was 4.75 mW at 333 GHz when driven with 200 mW. In contrast, this improved structure broadened the bandwidth by 8 GHz and reduced the length of the substrate by 0.607 mm, effectively reducing the length of the traditionally designed circuit by 11.5%.

In this paper, according to the base-adaptive detecting method of harmonic current for APF, there had contradiction between detecting accuracy and dynamic response. It had been proved that this system is a symmetrical notch-filter. Based on analysis above, this paper is proposed improved-adaptive detecting method. A low-pass filter has been in base-adaptive system. We first discussed the stability of improved system. Then theoretical analysis and simulation test shows the bandwidth had been reduced nearby reference frequency. Simulation had showed that the dynamic performance was in a period and the harmonic distortion rate was no more than 1.7%.

Abstract Evolution of mutation rate controlled by a neutral modifier is studied for a locus with two alleles under temporally fluctuating selection pressure. A general formula is derived to calculate the evolutionarily stable mutation rate mu(ess) in an infinitely large haploid population, and following results are obtained. (I) For any fluctuation, periodic or random: (1) if the recombination rate r per generation between the modifier and the main locus is 0, mu(ess) is the same as the optimal mutation rate mu(op) which maximizes the long-term geometric average of population fitness; and (2) for any r, if the strength s of selection per generation is very large, mu(ess) is equal to the reciprocal of the average number T of generations (duration time) during which one allele is persistently favored than the other. (II) For a periodic fluctuation in the limit of small s and r, mu(ess)T is a function of sT and rT with properties: (1) for a given sT, mu(ess)T decreases with increasing rT; (2) for sT </= 1, mu(ess)T is almost independent of sT, and depends on rT as mu(ess)T & 1.6 for rT < 1 and mu(ess)T & 6/rT for rT > 1; and (3) for sT >/= 1, and for a given rT, mu(ess)T decreases with increasing sT to a certain minimum less than 1, and then increases to 1 asymptotically in the limit of large sT. (III) For a fluctuation consisting of multiple Fourier components (i.e., sine wave components), the component with the longest period is the most effective in determining mu(ess) (low pass filter effect). (IV) When the cost c of preventing mutation is positive, the modifier is nonneutral, and mu(ess) becomes larger than in the case of neutral modifier under the same selection pressure acting at the main locus. The value of c which makes mu(ess) equal to mu(op) of the neutral modifier case is calculated. It is argued that this value gives a critical cost such that, so long as the actual cost exceeds this value, the evolution rate at the main locus must be smaller than its mutation rate mu(ess).
